Understanding EV Charger Levels

Not all chargers are the same. We help you choose between Level 1 and Level 2 based on speed, safety, and what fits your home and driving habits. Here’s the difference between the charger levels:

Level 1 Chargers

These plug into a standard power point but charge slowly, up to 24 hours for a full battery. Fine for emergencies, but not recommended for everyday use in most Melbourne homes.

Level 2 Chargers

Professionally installed and hardwired to your switchboard, Level 2 chargers are 4–6 times faster than standard sockets, making them the smart choice for reliable, daily EV charging at home.

Signs You Need a Charger Upgrade or Check

If your EV charger is underperforming or acting strangely, it’s not just inconvenient, it could be a warning sign of a bigger electrical issue. Here’s what to watch for:

  • Charging feels slower than normal
  • Circuit breaker trips during charging
  • Charger is not compatible with a new EV model
  • Outdoor charger unit shows weather damage
  • Charger feels hot to touch or makes buzzing sounds
  • Vehicle refuses to charge

Ignoring these problems can lead to serious risks, from equipment damage to electrical fires. At Electcomm Group Electrical & Data, we quickly diagnose faults, upgrade your system where needed, and deliver safe, fully compliant repairs that protect your EV and your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, with the right weatherproofing, IP-rated unit, and safely run cabling to your switchboard, outdoor installs are no problem.
Most installs take 2–4 hours. It may take longer if your switchboard needs an upgrade or if cabling needs to be trenched.
Not always. Single-phase works fine for most households. We’ll assess your setup and let you know if an upgrade is worthwhile for faster charging.
Yes, most chargers we install use a universal Type 2 plug, which suits all new EVs sold in Australia.
Absolutely. We’re experienced with Tesla installs, including charger placement, Wi-Fi setup, and load-sharing configuration if you have multiple EVs or appliances.
No, it’s unsafe, non-compliant, and can void warranties. EV chargers must be hardwired by a licensed electrician for safe, reliable charging.
